Warhammer 40K: Arks Of Omen - The Lion

Awaken from ten millennia of slumber, unleash the knightly fury of the First Legion, and reclaim the galaxy from the dark influence of Abaddon and the Demonic Primarch Angron.

Warhammer 40,000 Arks of Omen: The Lion is the dramatic, 96-page hardback climax to the Arks of Omen narrative campaign series for Games Workshop’s 9th Edition. Released in April 2023 by Games Workshop, this iconic supplement chronicles one of the most legendary milestones in modern Warhammer lore: the triumphant return of Lion El'Jonson, Primarch of the Dark Angels, to the war-torn 41st Millennium. As the terrifying plan of Abaddon the Despoiler and the demigod Vashtorr the Arkifane reaches its apocalyptic crescendo within the Somnium Stars, the Son of the Forest rises to rally his knightly Chapter and strike back at the forces of Chaos.

Beyond its massive, lore-altering narrative, the book serves as an expansive Boarding Actions expansion—the fast-paced, close-quarters skirmish game mode set within the claustrophobic corridors of space hulks and voidships. The Lion introduces comprehensive rules for introducing legendary characters to Boarding Actions, custom tactical maneuvers for the Dark Angels and Fallen, as well as unique rules for fielding the dread forces of the World Eaters, Chaos Space Marines, and Imperial Navy in lethal corridor battles.
